Cooking With Mom: Wonton Soup

Some of my earliest memories are helping my mom prepare dinner.

One of my favorite things to help with was filling and wrapping wontons for soup. You can find a recipe right on the wonton wrapper package or through an online search (which are more authentic and probably much better than mine, however I've included ours below (which my mom altered for the picky eaters in my family):

Combine meat mixture thoroughly. Separate Won Ton wrappers. Place a teaspoon of the meat mixture in the center of each.

The next step is where I let my daughter start to help. Dip finger in water (most recipes will suggest egg white, water works just fine) - brush water on all four edges of wrapper (this will help the wrapper adhere to itself).

Fold in half (forming a triangle) and press down on the sides to seal. Didn't get any photos of the last step in folding so am including instructions (below) found at ChenPhotography to finish folding the wontons:
